Does anyone know at what point your water breaks?

Question

Like usually how far dilated? What is average?

Answer 1

some people's water break at the onset of labour, some don't have the water break until the baby is coming out. Usually, though the doctor breaks the water at about 5 or 6 centimetres to speed labour up.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, there's no clear answer for this question. Every woman is different, so there's no way to predict it. However, in most cases, the water breaks after going into labor. But it does still happen before the onset of labor once in a sometimes.
